Re: Paramedical Science Major at ECU

I know of a mate that had the exactly the same situation, he ended up becoming a nurse in the UK and after a few years in the ER 'transfered' from Nursing to being a patient transfer then onto being a paramedic.

Long time, but he loved every minute of it

Re: Wallcliffe Bush Fire Brigade

Nice photos, they certainly have a few appliances! Is the 2.4B technically the same as a 3.4 regarding water wise?

Re: Significant bush fires 2011/12

@ Philby,

CFA had 30yr old tankers heading out to fires, most probably still do around that age. Its still an appliance, still does the job, has the gear and more importantly has got the experiance of crew to take it on. Just have to say good on them! Perhaps FESA may give them a better appliance.

Re: SET 6 years on

I'd agree with most of that except the last bit. When the new Osborne Park station was opened, the old SET moved there along with the LRV I believe to enable 4x crew response. The first of the new SETs then went to Osborne Park and the second to Murdoch once commissioned. Of course the spare spent ...
